1 A Competency Based Curriculum for Specialist Training in Psychiatry Specialist Module in Psychotherapy Royal College of Psychiatrists Royal College of Psychiatrists 2009

2 SPECIALIST IN PSYCHOTHERAPY Specialists in Psychotherapy work with others to assess, manage and treat children and adults with mental health problems using talking therapies and other psychotherapeutic techniques. They also contribute to the development and delivery of effective mental health services at local, regional and national level. Having completed Core Training, the practitioner may enter Advanced Training in their chosen psychiatric specialty. The outcome of this training will be an autonomous practitioner able to work at Consultant level. This Curriculum outlines the competencies the practitioner must develop and demonstrate before they may be certificated as a Specialist in Psychotherapy. Because this level of clinical practice often involves working in complex and ambiguous situations, we have deliberately written the relevant competencies as broad statements. We have also made reference to the need for psychiatrists in Advanced Training to develop skills of clinical supervision and for simplicity, rather than repeat them for each component in the Good Clinical Care Domain; we have stated them only once, although they apply to each domain and will also apply to all specialties and subspecialties. As in the Core Training Curriculum, the competencies are arranged under the CanMEDS headings as follows: - 1. MEDICAL EXPERT 2. COMMUNICATOR 3. COLLABORATOR 4. MANAGER 5. HEALTH ADVOCATE 6. SCHOLAR 7. PROFESSIONAL 2

3 They are, of course, not discrete and free-standing, but overlap and inter-relate to produce an overall picture of the Psychiatrist as a medical expert. It is important to recognise that these headings are used for structural organization only. The complexity of medical education and practice means that a considerable number of the competencies set out below will cross the boundaries between different categories, as the diagram above illustrates. Moreover, depending on circumstances, many competencies will have additional components or facets that are not defined here. This curriculum is based on meta-competencies and does not set out to define the psychiatrist s progress and attainment at a microcompetency level. To do so would result in a document of quite impracticable length and detail which would almost inevitably require constant revision. 3

4 With these points in mind, this curriculum is based on a model of intended learning outcomes (which are summarised below) with specific competencies given to illustrate how these outcomes can be demonstrated. It is, therefore, a practical guide rather than an all-inclusive list of prescribed knowledge, skills and behaviours. The Specialist modules of the College curriculum, including this one, build on the Core Module Curriculum in two ways. Firstly, Specialty Registrars in Psychiatry all continue to achieve the competencies set out in the Core Module throughout training, irrespective of their psychiatric specialty. This involves both acquiring new competencies, particularly in aspects such as leadership, management, teaching, appraising and developing core competencies such as examination and diagnosis to a high level and, as an expert, serving as a teacher and role model. Secondly, the specialist modules set out those competencies that are a particular feature of each specialty. These include competencies that are specific to that specialty, or that feature more prominently in the specialty than they do elsewhere, or that need to be developed to a particularly high level (mastery level) in specialty practice. 4

6 THE INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES Some of the intended learning outcomes set out in the Core Curriculum are not included in this specialty module.
